*ALL CHARACTERS BELONG TO THE LOVELY STEPHENIE MEYERS

Chapter 22

July

Masen's POV

A bright stream of sunshine coming through my window, made me wake up super duper early, it wasn't my fault that I wake up so early, it's the suns fault for being so, so..Sunny? Yeah sunny, the sun was to sunny and it wake me up! Mama will be sad with the sun and not me for being ups so early.

I pull the covers up to my chin and snuggle down. My mommy and Eddie got me a new big boy bed! I got to take Mama's room and it's sooo big! Even my new bed is super big! It's a brown bed, I think Mommy said it was called a sleigh bed or something, but it's really big and really heavy! I had to helps Eddie carry it alll the way into my new room.

Eddie let me use the drill that made a loud noise, but it was still fun. After we build it all done, mommy came in and surprised me with brand new Lego Batman covers! These are the coolest covers you'll ever find and my mommy got them just for me.

It had all my favorites on there, batman robin and the joker were all on the front cover, but when you turned it around there was bats everywhere, cause that's Batman's signal if you didn't know. It was just the coolest. The next day after I got my bed, Eddie and mommy took me to the shops and we founds all kinds of cool Batman pictures and even a Batman rug, now my whole room looked like a bat cave!

My tummy started growling loudly, making me giggle. "I need to feed the monster in my belly!" I said aloud patting my empty belly. My Eddie always says, "We gotta feed that monster in your belly" even though there is never a monster in my tummy! Eddie is just so silly sometimes.

I pushed my covers off and pulled myself out of my comfy bed. I slipped my feet into my green slippers, so my feet wouldn't get cold, and I went to find my mommy or even better my Eddie. My Eddie is also my daddy too, but Ryan from my old school, said that Eddie can't be my daddy, because he's only just showed up, whatever that means.

I like Eddie and I want him to be my daddy, but I just don't know if he wants to be my daddy? I need to ask him, but I don't know how. My words get all scrambled and I get confused. Nana said that Eddie would be so happy to be my daddy and alls I need to do is ask him. Granny Sue told me the same. I love my grandmas, but they aren't my daddy and they could be wrong.

Very carefully I tiptoed to mommy and Eddie's room and peeked my head inside. Durn they are both sleeping! Poor Eddie, he probably can't breathe with all of Mommy's hair covering his face. I opened the door fully and walked over to their bed. I climbed up, and tried my hardest not to crawl on top of their legs.

Mommy was laying on top of Eddie and her long hairs were everywhere. I leaned one palm against Eddie's stomach and pushed up, wiped mommy's hair out of his face. Eddie groaned making me jump and fall over the side of the bed with a thump.

I laid there for a moment, my head kinda hurts but I feel fine. I started laughing and I couldn't help it! Falling can be sooo funny and it makes me giggle. Mommy said it's not nice to laugh when someone falls, but if I'm laughing at me, then it shouldn't matter, right?

I guess my laughter woke up Eddie, because when I looked up, he was peeking his head over the side of the bed. "Masen?" He said, his eyes squinting. Eddie always looks so funny when he wakes up. I jumped up from the floor and stood next to the bed. "I'm hungry Eddie" I whispered too him. Mama was starting to move around and I was hopeful that she would wake up too.

"You want a bowl of cereal?" I shook my head and stuck out my tongue. I'm tired of eating fruit loops for breakfast. They aren't even the good kinds that Papa has, it was the dye and sugar free kinds, whatever that means. Mom just said it's better for me, but something that gross can not be good for you!

"I want pancakes!" I said loudly! I haven't had pancakes in years and years! Just the thought of a warm pancake with lots of sticky syrup made my mouth water. Yummy.

"Buddy, I can't make pancakes"

"Oh please, Eddie! I can helps you. I always help Mama make them...PLEASE!!" I put my hands together like I was saying Grace and begged my Eddie for pancakes! I even brought out my puppy eyes. Those always work on Eddie.

"I'll make the pancakes" Mommy mumbled from under her hair. "Yay! Thank you Mama, can I's still help you?" I hopped up on the bed and crawled in between Mommy and Eddie. Placing an arm around each of their necks, I pulled them close to me and smushed our faces together.

"I love you" I said quietly. I had the best Mommy and Daddy ever. I don't know how I gots so lucky! I could have a mean mommy and daddy, but they are nicest. "We love you Masen!" They both said it at the same time, making it sound like a echo.

"Can I still help make pancakes?" I asked. Mommy and Eddie both started laughing and at the same time started tickling my side. "STOP! Uncle! Uncle!" Mommy pulled back, giving me a weird look. "Who taught you to say uncle?"

"Uncle Emmy" I shrugged.

"Don't stir so quickly, Masen. You are sloshing it everywhere" Mommy caution me. She leaned forward and wiped the counter with a kitchen wipey. "Sorry Mama" I started stirring more carefully than before, trying really hard not to make a big mess on the counters.

"Am I gonna go see Miss Hill today?" I asked Mama. I liked to go to Miss's Hill's house, but it can be kinda boring sometimes. She doesn't have a big playroom like Nana does. But she's still okay.

"Actually, I want to talk to you about, Miss hill." Mommy picked me up and sit me down on the counter. Her eyes looked sad. "It's ok Mommy" I put my hand on her cheek and patted it.

Mama grabbed my hand from her face and kissed it. "Thank you baby" She sighed giving me a smile. "So Masey, Miss hill, she found out that she is very sick" I frowned. She just needs some medicine from the doctors.

"She has a sickness called cancer and it's making her very tired and she needs to rest, so you are going to stay with Auntie Al and Lee,Lee during the week, when your not with Nana of course"

"Is she gonna take her medicine Mama?" I don't want Miss hill to stay all sickie. I should make her a picture to help her feel better.

"Yes, Masen she's going to take her medicine and hopefully it will help her feel better, but Miss Hill probably won't be able to watch you again. We will need to find you a new babysitter, or if your comfortable with it maybe find a nice preschool program you could go to three or four times a week"

"But what if they is mean to me. Like my last school was" Mommy smiled at me and placed a kiss on each of my cheeks, making me smile too.

"You can help us look, and I promise Masen, mommy will never let anything happen to you, ever. You are my whole heart, Masen and all I want you to be happy and safe" I hugged my mommy, I would give school another try, maybe just maybe it could be fun.

I hummed along with the song playing on the radio as we drove to Auntie Al house. I was excited to see baby Lee,Lee. She could almost roll over and I was hoping that I could teach her how today. I want to teach my baby cousin how to do all kinds of things. Like how to play football and how to color and draw trucks or Batman! I bet she will LOVE Batman just like me.

"Mommy do you think Lee,Lee will like Batman as much as me?" I asked Mommy, looking at her in the mirror thingy. "She might Masen. But Kimberly Will probably enjoy her own things, not just what Masen likes"

I shrugged. Uncle Jazzy said that Lee,Lee will look up to me and will probably want to be a lot like me. I don't know why she's going to be looking up at me, maybe it's cause I'm bigger then hers and she will have to looks up cause I will be really tall, just like Eddie.

"I thinks she's gonna like Batman too" I whispered. Mommy pulled the car into Alice's house and put the car in stop mode. Mamas car is not as fast or big as Eddie's car. Eddie couldn't take me to Auntie Al house today cause he had to work early. I was sad but he said that he would see me in a few hours and would have a surprise just for me.

Unbuckling my seat like a big boy, I stood up and waited for Mama to open up my door for me. My door always has to stay locked, Mommy said it's safer that way and one day I can be able to open it myself. "Are you gonna be good for Aunt Alice?" Mama held out my backpack for me to slip my arms around. "Yes of course! I always a good boy"

Auntie Al was standing at the door holding Lee,Lee out in front of her. Lee's feet were kicking like crazy as she smiled at us. Nana said that means she's excited to see her family. "Hello Lee,Lee are you happy to see us" I reached up on my tiptoes and tickled her chubby baby belly, making her squeal.

"She is very happy to see you Masen. I've been tell her all day that you were coming over and she's been stoked" Auntie Alice told me. I'm glad that Lee likes me as much as I like her. I'm gonna be the bestest cousin she's got!

"I am so excited to hang out with you Lee. We're gonna have tonnes of fun today. I brought Batman with me!" I ran inside ripping my backpack off my shoulders and sitting it on the floor. Inside my backpack was my lunchbox that had a ham and cheese sandwich with mustard. Some carrots sticks with ranch, grapes and for a treat a KitKat.

Mama let me pack two of my Batman action figures and I brought some coloring books and crayons and only if I get super duper bored, my tablet. Mommy said I can only use it when Auntie Alice says so. But that's fine with me, I have a few other toys in here and Lee,Lee has tons and tons of toys that she can't even play with yet. I don't know why a little baby has so many toys. She almost has as much as me! And that's a lot, like a lot, a lot.

"Ok, Alice he has lunch and snacks in his bag. Along with toys and here's his blanket. Sometimes you can give him this and put on a half way interesting movie and he'll pass out"

"NOT TRUE MAMA" I yelled out. I'm a big boy and I do not take naps.

"Whatever you say, Mase. But anyways foods in the bag along with some toys and a few other odds and ends. If Edward gets out of court early then he'll pick up Masen, so he should call you when he's on his way. If not then I will be here by four at least. I can't thank you enough for watching him. I owe you big time" I knew this means Mommy has to go now. I hate when Mommy has to leave and go to work.

I walked over and pulled on Mama's skirt and reached my arms up. "Masey. Don't give me that look. I love you so much and you know I would stay home if I could" Mama picked me up and pulled me close to her chest.

"I know, I just miss you Mama. Promise me you'll get back fast" I asked quietly.

"I promise, baby. You never know, Eddie might just get out early and you'll get to spend the rest of the day with him" I nodded squeezing her tightly before letting her put me down. I gave her legs one more hug before walking over to Auntie Al and leaned against her.

"Love you son. Be good and have fun" Mama gave me a kiss on my cheek and gave Allie a hug before she left to go be working. I wish I could go to work with Mommy and Daddy. That would be so much fun!

"Alright bud, what would you like to do first?" I shrugged, I don't want to do anything right now. I wanted to go with mommy.

"Can we just watch a show, please"

"Of course we can! Would you like to give Lee,Lee a cuddle?" I nodded my head. Who wouldn't want to give Miss Lee a cuddle.

I sit down on their big comfy couch and Auntie Al sit a moonish shape pillow over my lap before she sit Lee,Lee down in my arms and carefully tucked a blanket around us. "Now don't you two look oh so cozy!" I smiled at baby Lee, pressing a kiss to her head like I've seen Eddie do. She always smells so good.

"She smells nice. I thought babies smelled like poop" Alice giggled and shook her head at me.

"She can smell like poo poo sometimes, but we clean her up and then she smells power fresh once again" Auntie Al cuddles up next to us with the television remote in hand. "Sooo, whatcha watching these days?"

"Batman" I said with a cheeky grin. Auntie Al hates watching Batman.

"Masen!" She groaned. "Do you ever watch anything other then Batman? Why don't we see what's on Disney" I nodded. I'm sure we could find something on there.

After a bit of fighting, we (me) decided to watch monsters at work. I loved this show, but we don't have the Disney shows on my tv at home, but Nana has this show on her tv and she always lets me watch a few episodes when I come over, only cause she's the coolest Nana that ever lived!

Lee,Lee even seemed to like the show, she let me hold her for almost a full show before she got sleepy and wanted auntie Al again. Allie took baby to her room to eat and take a nap. While they were gone I got my Blankey off the couch and got all cozy. I'm just going to my eyeballs rest for a short second.

"Masen honey, it's time to wake up" I opened my eyes and looked around. What happened. "You feel better after your nap?" I looked up at Auntie Al frowning. I took a nap? Rubbing my eyes I pushed my blanket off my shoulders and stretched out. I guess I didn't know I was so sleepy.

"I do feel better but I-" my words were cut off by my tummy growling. I put my hands over my belly, my cheeks got red as I chuckled. "I'm hungry" I finished with a smile.

"Your tummy has perfect timing" Alice laughed, poking a red finger nail at my belly. "I just made your lunch, let's go eat before it gets cold"

"It's a sandwich, it's already cold, Auntie Al!" I laughed. Pulling myself into the chair I immediately shoved a bite of my sandwich into my mouth. I didn't know how hungry I actually was!

Allie sit across from me with a bowl of nasty looking green soup and a bread roll. The roll looked tasty but not the green stuff. Yuck.

My lunch was very tasty, just like it always is. Mama makes the best most yummiest food ever. I don't think mama has ever made me anything that was yucky, even her veggie are good, but I can't tell her that or else she'll make me eat them all the time, they taste ok, but they are still vegetables.

"Well now that you are all nice and full would you like to play with your toys while I clean up?" I nodded. Hopping off my chair, I turned back around and grabbed my cup wanting to bring my drink along with me. It had a lid and straw so no spills here!

Auntie Al had put my backpack on the couch so I grabbed it and dug through to figure out what toys I wanted to play with. I grabbed my Batman of course and his Batmobile, and since I already had those two things I grabbed Robin too. Lee,Lee had a few toys in the corner of the living room, and after making sure it was ok, I sit down next to them and found a few cooler things in there.

I played there for awhile, baby toys were actually kinda fun and I found myself playing easily. Sometimes I wished I had someone to play with, but I guess Lee will be able to play eventually. Mommy and Eddie said that she won't stay a baby forever. I hope she becomes a big kid soon, cause it's getting boring around here.

I loud shrill cry sounded through the house making me jump. Auntie Al jumped up and rushed towards the back of the house and opened up a door to a very pink room. I guess Lee,Lee is waking up.

I put my toys down and followed to where I had seen Auntie Al go. Inside I found Allie picking up a very mad baby Lee. I plugged my ears as I walked closer. For her to be so small she sure is loud.

"Shhh my little gumdrop. Mommy's here" Allie bounced the baby as she hushed her. Lee,Lee started to calm down somewhat, but she still had tears on her cheeks. I wonder what made her so sad. Maybe she had a bad dream, I get those sometimes. Mommy will always sing me back to sleep or let me get in bed with her, that always makes me feel way better.

Auntie Al moved over to the rocking chair and sit down. She laid Lee down on her legs and unwrapped the pink blanket that Lee,Lee had on, before picking her back up and tossing the blanket over her shoulder.

I looked around the room. It was all very pink and white. The blanket in her crib was pink and so was her pacifier. The rug on the floor was pink and so was almost everything on the bookshelf. She sure had a lot of stuff. Why does she need all this? All she does is lay there.

Ring Ring * I jumped up at the sound of Auntie Al's phone and ran into the living room to grab it. I found it lying on the couch and grabbed it. Eddie's face lit up the phone and I ran faster back to the baby's room. I handed the phone to my auntie and she placed it to her ear with one hand, as she patted Lee,Lee bottom with the other.

"Hey big bro...Yeah he's right here with me, Kimberly just woke up from her nap... Huh...Well no she didn't mention anything...Ok, let me hand Masen the phone." I frowned. He only talked to me when he wasn't coming to pick me up. "Here buddy, Eddie wants to talk with you" I took the phone from Allie and put it on my ear.

"Hi Eddie, I am missing you"

"I miss you too, baby...Listen Mase, court has been pushed out so that means I'm gonna be home kinda late tonight. I've already called mommy and she will be coming to get you in a few hours. Please don't be sad"

"But why can't it court be done now and put the bad guy away?"

"You know it doesn't work that way, son. I will be home in time to read you a book with Mama. You will be having so much fun, you won't even notice I am gone" I rolled my eyes. Yeah right.

"I will always know that you are gone, Eddie. But I will be okay with Auntie Al. Just try and hurry up cause I miss your hugs"

"I will give you the biggest hug when I get home, bud. I love you be good for Alice and Mom alright"

"I will, love you too" I handed the phone back to Alice and walked back to the living room. Tears filled my eyes even though I tried to be a big boy. I just wanted to see my Eddie early today. He's been working sooo long and I miss seeing him. Tears fell down my cheeks no matter how hard I tried to stop them, so I pushed my face further down in the couch and cried.

I felt a hand on my back, rubbing In soothing circles. "Masen honey, what's the matter?" I didn't say anything. "Are you upset because of Edward?" I nodded, keeping my face firmly against the couch. "Oh buddy, Eddie is gonna be home soon, and mommy is gonna be here to get you soon. School lets out in a hour or so and then she will come and get you"

I was excited to see mommy. We haven't had mommy and Masen time in a while and I guessed I could look forward to that. I kept my face smushed in the couch cushions, I don't want people to see me crying. I really didn't want Lee,Lee to see me crying, I was her big cousin, I'm not supposed to be crying.

"Would you like to play on your tablet for a little bit. Mommy said you could have an hour of iPad time and you haven't used a minute of it today" I turned my head and peeked my eye open. Alice was crouched on her knees beside the couch looking at me. She gave me a big smile and pinched my cheek. "Come on kid, whatcha say?"

"Ok, sure!" Auntie Al walked over to my backpack and pulled out my green tablet. I sit up and grabbed my tablet and thanked Alice. I pulled up my monkey game and was more then happy to sit here and play till mama gets here.

Bella POV

"Listen Ms, Swan I know this is your first year here at port elementary school, but we expect certain things out of our students here and for some reason your class is falling behind that" I frowned. The grades in my classes were fine, the only child who was "falling behind" was Liam but I think something is happening there. It seems like a learning disability, but I didn't want to point anything out yet, when I wasn't sure.

"I completely understand that, Mr Greenie. I am just confused sir, as my students are all grading As and Bs, even the children who are having a bit more difficulty then others" I was on my way out the door when my boss Mr Blaine greenie stopped me. I'm not sure why he's acting like I'm an outsider as he's only worked here a month or so longer then me, but he has had issues with me, even since I turned down his offer of dinner a movie. It was just inappropriate if you ask me and he's lucky I didn't report his ass.

"Well Ms Swan, since you asked so nicely, I will tell you" He smiled, making me cringe, this is just beyond uncomfortable. "Compared to the other classes in here, their levels are high and staying that way. The kids are excelling in almost every category. Math, science, computer skills. But you see their reading and writing is down close to Retention level and that doesn't look good on the school or the students. When parents hear that their child might be held back, it doesn't exactly make them relax"

"I just don't understand. Everyone is doing wonderful, I'm following the curriculum the school provides and added in a few things to help expand their vocabulary. Two children in my class are ahead of the 4th grade reading level we are working on" I know for a fact that my levels can not be near retention levels. My kids work hard and you can see it just by looking at their work or listening to them read or speak.

"When we're the levels done and released, I'm not trying to make excuses sir I promise, but this is honestly the first I am hearing of this." I asked. No one mentioned that we were having testing done and I never got a email on it. I check my work email every morning without fail.

He looked over at his computer. "Mrs Scott was over sending out the memos and she was also in charge of the results and to send them out to everyone" I frowned of course. Maci. That bitch is always trying to throw me off my game, I never did anything to her.

"I sadly never got that email nor those results. I am very sorry about this, I'm not even sure if my students took the test, I was never given anything" I know this sounded like a big excuse but that's not what I was looking for. I truly never got anything, maybe my email address was put in wrong. No one has my personal email so I don't think it could have gotten sent there, plus I keep a cheek on that one too.

"Ms Swan; are you stating that Mrs Scott purposely did not inform you of the test and did not send you the testing curriculum nor send you the email that got sent to everyone else?" That's exactly what I'm saying.

"Well...No, no sir that's not what I'm saying. What I'm wondering is if maybe my email address got put in wrong or maybe I wasn't on the list since it's my first year, I'm honestly not sure, but I know that I did not get anything involving the test. We are all adults here and I'm not pointing fingers at anyone, I'm sure it was just a misunderstanding" Greenie squinted his eyes at me, like he was trying to figure out if I was lying to him or not.

"Alight, I will be speaking with Mrs Scott about this and in the meantime I will personally email you the information tomorrow and have the testing curriculum on your desk by Monday morning. Your class can take the test and if the results are where they should be then we will continue with what we are doing, if it is still at retention level then we might have to speak about other options" I shook my head. I just couldn't believe this was happening to me. I've been working so hard and I've wanted this to go well for me, it's my first ever teaching job and it's important for it to look good on me.

"I promise you, my students are doing wonderfully and they will have no issues with this test, I'm sure of it" I stood up and shook his outstretched hand. "Well if that's all, i really should be going I need to pick up my son" his grey bushy eyebrows shot up.

"A son! You have a son Ms swan. How did I now know of this?" I shrugged.

"Yes I have a three year old. He's with his aunt today and my-...his father is late with work and asked if I could pick him up today, so I really should be going" I smirked. That should keep him off my back.

"Y-yes of course. Please don't let me keep you. Have a good weekend Ms swan" I nodded to him, and grabbed my bag left the room without another word. The school was completely empty save for the janitors and a teacher maybe two still in their closed classroom. I noticed my classroom light was turned on and my door was cracked open. I looked down at my watch. All of my students should be long home by now and the janitors don't clean the classrooms other then the floors on Tuesdays.

*TRIGGER WARNING SA

I peeked behind me, one of the janitors were walking down the hallway away from me pushing a mop and bucket while he hummed quietly. The bucket wheels were making an awful squeaking noise that seemed to echo through out the empty halls. I curled my fingers tightly around my bag and slowly walked closer towards my classroom.

Pushing the heavy door I looked around inside and noticed that everything seemed to be in place and in order. I walked inside, my short heels clicked on the waxed linoleum floor. Laying there on my desk was a single rose on top of a piece of paper.

As I walked over to the paper the door slammed shut and locked in place, making me jump and spin around. "J-James" there he was, standing in front of me with his red blood shot icey blue eyes. Still wearing that worn out jacket. Now that I was standing face to face with him, I could see my sons nose upon his face, it didn't look right on his face.

"I finally found you my little swan! It took me long enough" He stepped close, making me take two steps back. "I tried your school first. You weren't very popular Isabella. Straight A's never missed a day. The perfect little chiefs daughter, then it seems you had a little hiccup didn't you" he paused looking me up and down. "Daddy got you out rather quickly, huh? Shipped his perfect little daughter out to Phoenix with her flighty mother. Once again you stuck to a small crowd there too. I remember watching you and that girl with the glasses"

"Such a pretty thing you were, little swan" he circled me as he continued to speak. "I was so surprised when you showed up to the party that night. I had such fun with you and then you leave me high and dry never even a email or a call. I thought we had something Bella" He eyed me down, slowly inching closer. "At first I didn't let it bother me. The only girl who ever turned me down, who walked away from me and never looked back. Do you know how much that hurt me Isabella. I loved you and you just left me!" What. the. hell.

"When I could find you anywhere I tried to bury myself into Victoria, quite literally. But she wasn't you. She didn't smell like you smell. She didn't taste like you tasted. She didn't make my cock ache the way you did. I had to have you, I craved you" Why! Why is he doing this to me, I didn't even talk to him other then that night. I just wanted to live my life. I wanted to say something, anything. But my whole body was shaking and I couldn't even breathe at this point.

"Like I said, it took me quite sometime to figure out where you were, why you disappeared without a word. Left your home. But I didn't do it alone, I had some help" He smiled. "Oh mommy dearest wasn't hard to find at all. The amount of dating sites that women is on was insane. It took me less then a week to find her and her husband or ex husband actually"

"You see, Renée was more then ready to talk about her daughter and all the pain and suffering she had cause her." There is no way. What did I ever do to her that made her hate me this much. I tried to stop it, but the tears started rolling down my cheeks. All I wanted was to get away from all this.

"Don't cry little swan. We are finally together again. You, me and our son" I gasped. No! Absolutely not. Masen will not be brought into this.

"No" James frowned. "No?"

"No, James. He's my son. You don't speak about him. What you did was disgusting and unacceptable. You are lucky I didn't press charges against you for what you did" I crossed my arms and held my head up higher. What I wasn't expecting was the sharp sting across my cheek as James palm slapped it.

"You don't speak to me that way, Isabella. I have waited a long time for you and it's my turn to speak, so shut up for once" I held my hand to my cheek, my mind was racing, how was I going to get out of here. James was fully blocking the door and it was locked. If I tried to call someone he would just take the phone honestly. I don't even know if he's carrying anything that could really hurt me.

"like I was saying, I'm here to take you both back home to Phoenix where you belong. I have a nice little house in the desert and I've got our son a room set up with a crib and all kinds of toys, I heard kids like that show with the dogs one is a cop or something, I don't know. But I've got his whole room decked out in it, he will love it, simply because it came from his father"

Little does he know, Masen hates paw patrol and he has one father and it's not you. I just rolled my eyes and scoffed. I'm guessing that wasn't the response he was looking for as he glared at me and his hand twitch to hit me again. Please hit me you bastard. The more marks I have, will be another year added, that Edward will put you in jail.

"I have our room done in a deep red, kitten. Nice red silk sheets that I can't wait to see you all stretched out on begging for my cock" before I could blink James had me pushed against the wall with a hand around my neck and the other trying to find the zipper of my skirt. His chapped lips smashed against mine as the hand around my neck tightened making me gasp.

He took the opportunity to shove his tongue in my mouth. I gagged trying and failing to get away. James moved his hand from my skirt and grab around my waist keeping me in place the best he could. I dug my nails into his cheek and yanked downward. This didn't seem to faze him at first, so I did it again this time catching his eyes on the way.

"STOP" he growled, yanking my head back and slamming it against the wall over and over again till my head was pounding, making my ears ring. "Do you know how long I have been wanting this. I've had to call you just to hear your voice or listen to you breathing. Sometimes if I was lucky I could hear our son in the background. Masen. You know that's how I learned his name. Masen Emmett Swan. Strong name for a stronger boy. I must say I was hopeful that James would have been in his name, seeing as it's a family name and all, but I guess I can forgive you for that"

Ok this dude is crazy. Does he not realize that Masen was sadly a product of rape. I love Masen with everything in me but I wish so badly that he didn't have to come into this world the way he did. I wanted my children to come from love, not abuse.

James moved in again going to keep me, so I took my chances and I spit right on his face. His face grew a bright red, before he released my waist and lifted a finger wiping my saliva off his face and bringing it to his lips. Keeping his eyes on mine he stuck his finger in his mouth and sucked. His moans filled the room and I shivered, feeling dread pour over me. "Mmm, delicious."

James kicked my feet out from under me making me fall to my knees. His hand was ripped away from my neck making his large ring nick my face. I cupped my hand over my cheek trying to stop the stinging. The metal smell filled my nose and as I pulled my hands away blood cover my fingers.

The loud sound of a zipper being pulled made me look up again, but I wished I hadn't. I was face to face with James smelly penis. "Since you've been such a naughty kitten, I think you should suck my cock and maybe I could forgive you" I shook my head keeping my jaw locked. There was no way in hell that thing was going in my mouth. Over my dead body.

James reached down and stroked my cheek for a moment before his grip tightened and squeezed my face forcing me to look at him. "Come on now, no one likes a naughty girl, so be a good one and open up" with that he squeezed my jaw to the point that it popped making me gasp. He took the opportunity and shoved the horrid thing in my mouth. He didn't give me a second before he started thrusting his hips making me gag: tears started running down my cheeks as he grabbed handfuls of my hair.

"That's a good girl, take every bit of it." I took a deep breath, well the best I could and bit down on his penis with all my strength. He pushed me back and grabbed his bleeding member with both hands. "Argh! You bitch" I didn't wait a second longer. With my purse clutched in my hand I rushed towards the door and fiddled around with the locks.

Finally.

I pushed the door open and ran down the hall. I peeked back for a split second and saw James standing at the door watching me walk away with a smirk on his face. I continued to run for the doors and James had zipped his pants back up and just calmly walked towards me.

I didn't stop to think on it or even care about. I just kept running till I made it out the front doors and to my car. I somehow managed to get inside and slammed my door shut and locked it. I started it and quickly pulled out of the parking spot zooming through the lot.

I glanced in my rear view mirror and noticed a black SUV right on my tail. But when I turned left at the light they went right. I breathed a sigh of relief and went to reach for my phone, I just needed to call Edward, he will know what to do.

A loud screech rang out as that black SUV swerved in front of me from head on and pushed my car off the side of the bridge. My car rolled and rolled before it finally slammed to a halt by a broken tree. The impact flew me to the side and I hit my head against the window. Everything was fuzzy and I tried to hang on. Red clouded my already blurry vision. I reached up to touch my four head. My fingers came in contact with the warm sticky blood that was running down from the side of my head.

My seat belt was stuck and my door was so crushed in, I wasn't sure how the hell I was gonna get out.

Police sirens were getting closer and I breathed a sigh of relief, but that didn't last long, as my lungs expanded blood filled my mouth and I couldn't breathe. Blood was pouring down my throat as I gasped for air, I was gagging and coughing trying to get clear my airways but it seemed pointless. Just remember I love you Masen and Edward. I tried.

Edward POV

"Court adjourned for today. We will see everyone next week for our final hearing. Thank you" Finally! I feel like I've been in this court room for hours now. I'm not even the lawyer on this case. I got called in for another point of view for the judge because he thought the lawyers were because bias of one another. He needs to just pull them off the case and let me do my job.

I gathered my things and left the court room. "See ya on Tuesday Edward" I waved at Harvey and nodded to him, not really wanting to stop and chitchat, I was ready to get home. Speaking of home. I pulled my iPhone out of my pocket and pressed the side button waiting for it to turn back on.

My phone started buzzing over and over again that my phone glitched out for a moment.

Alice.C 8 missed calls

Mom 3 missed calls

Charlie.S 4 missed calls

Sue.S 3 missed calls

unknown caller 2 missed calls

What in the world. Why are they blowing up my phone. They know I don't have my phone on court. I ignored all of their calls for a second and tried Bella's number, but It rang and rang till I got her voicemail. Odd. I pressed on Alice's first voice mail.

"Hey brother I know your in court, but...well Bella is not answering her phone and she still hasn't picked up Mase. Did you guys change the plans, it's no problem, I'm just wondering what's up"

"Edward, it's Alice again. Listen I'm starting to get worried. Bella still hasn't answered her phone and no one is answering the schools phone"

"Edward! It's Bella please call me back as soon as you get this"

No. this is probably just a joke. Alice she's always pulling theses things. I listened to my moms message.

"Edward honey. Please call me when you get out of court, it's an emergency." Shit.

"This is Charlie. Bella was in an accident son, you need to get down to the hospital asap...she's..you just need to get here Edward" I did not need to hear any more. I put my car in reverse and flew out of there. She had to be alright. She just had too.

it only took me five minutes to get to the hospital in PA. I parked in the first spot I saw and booked it inside. The waiting room was empty so I ran to the front desk. "I'm looking for Isabella Swan!" I rushed out. I leaned my palms on my knees trying to catch my breath. "It seems like Mrs Swan is in surgery. There is a waiting room for ICU patients on the third floor. Just follow the signs" I Thanked the man at the desk and follow the signs to the third floor.

There sit, Charlie and sue who we're leaning against one another. Charlie looked like he had been crying. Sitting across from them was my mother and Alice who were both actively crying and trying to console one another. Masen wasn't anywhere but neither was Jasper, so I assumed he was with him and Kimberly. "Mom, Allie" Both of their heads snapped up at the sounds of my voice and they jumped out of their chair and wrapped me in their embrace.

"Why is she in surgery? What's going on" I pushed them back slightly. I need to know Bella was going to be ok first. "Edward, Bella was involved in a hit and run. Her car rolled five times before it slammed into a tree stump and came to a halt. She broke three of her rips two of them punctured her lungs filling them with blood. From what they could tell she had a minor brain bleed and she broke her right leg up to her hip" I fell down listening to all that. Thankfully there was a chair that managed to catch me.

"What..how, she was just fine this morning. I had just texted her" I put my face in my hands. This couldn't be happening. Bella does that drive everyday it's mostly empty roads. It just doesn't make sense. "Did they say if she's going to be ok? When can we see her"

"They said if she does well though the night, then they have high hopes" Charlie muttered under his breath. His mustache twitched as he fault though his emotions. "A nurse said she won't be out of surgery till late tonight and her visiting hours start in the morning. I'm staying right here until they say I can see my daughter, damn it!" Charlie looked back down at his folded hands. I guess suddenly feeling uncomfortable at saying so much.

"Is Masen alright? Does he even know what's going on" Alice's face turned sad and she wouldn't look at me. "He's with Jasper at your house. Mase was really upset and didn't understand why he couldn't see either of you. Jasper took him and Kimberly out for a treat and then to your house, hoping that would calm him down some"

My poor buddy. He was already upset over me being late and now we're super late. He should be having dinner soon or else he'll get cranky. But I'm sure Jasper knows that, hell he's know Masen longer then then I have. But I know Masen schedule that's he's on right now. Bella wouldn't want him off his routine.

"Gosh, I don't know what to do. I feel like i should be with Masen. But there is no way I could leave Bella" Masen needs me, but so does Bella. "Mom! Could you go and get Masen. He will feel better with you and your house is closer to the hospital than ours. That way I can kind of be in both places."

My mother hugged my shoulders and kissed my cheek. "Of course I will go and get him son. Your father is in the OR with Bella, will you please let him know what we decided when he comes out to update us again" I nodded and hugged her again. I'm so grateful for her right now. I think this will work out better for everyone, and then Jasper can get Kimberly home and in bed.

Mom and Alice both left. Alice promised to come back and bring me a change of clothes and some food. The clothes would be nice, since I'm still in my court clothes, but I don't see myself eating right now. I can't, not when my sweet Bella is laying in an OR room right now. She was going to be alright, she had too.

Till next time~Jade
